Darn.....the good horses are just too brittle.

That's too bad. And after all the talk about how fantastic he was looking.

Zayat's misfortune brings me such joy.

He deserves it

Some clarification:
Okay, bad choice of words...should have said, "Ever since Zayat openly considered conspiring to keep Rachel Alexandra out of the 2009 Preakness (so Pioneerof The Nile, American Pharaoh's daddy) could have a better chance of winning the race, he has had nothing but bad luck and heartbreaking defeats"

Coincidence or karma??
Everyone loves Zayat - how soon y'all forget

I love stuff like this. That is easy to say now that he is out. Did you mention that before, on twitter or anywhere else? I didn't love him, but I felt he was one of the 3 most likely winners along with Upstart and Carpe Diem.

Really? Seemed like he was pretty live and might have even been a usable price.

Maybe you are confusing American Pharoah for Bayern????

Indian Charlie · #12 10-28-2014, 04:07 PM

Oh, nevermind, I get it now.

He was a toss because of RTH?

Stick to your first post in here, you were on the right track.
Im not trying to pick a fight with anyone. My point is this, what is the point to call him a bet against now that he is not running? He was a much more likely winner then Daredevil IMO.

That's silly. About him being a much more likely winner than Daredevil.

I'll grant you that Daredevil, of the two, was more likely to flop badly.

And yeah, I understand you thinking Nick was being a chicken not posting that thought before AP was scratched, but hell, the race is still four days away. Not too many people have posted their analysis just yet.

Why is it silly? Daredevil might be great but in this spot, vs these horses Im making him prove it to me over a fast track. As far as Im concerned Upstart is more likely then Daredevil... He has a fast race, over a fast surface.

Nick is a chicken? How is a guy that does public handicapping considered a chicken?

Nick has one of the best opinions of anyone I have ever known. His public handicapping record is superior. He's also about the least disingenuous person I have ever known. He didn't like American Pharoah. Frankly, no handicapper whose opinion I respect at all liked him on Saturday.

I wasn't calling him a chicken. I was saying I could understand how RTH might think he was chicken by not posting his opinion about AP before he was withdrawn.

I then said that there was still four days still left until the race, meaning that his opinion would have been more than likely posted in the coming days.
